FAQs

How is time to hire different from time to fill?
Time to hire counts from when a specific candidate enters the pipeline to offer acceptance. Time to fill counts from when the job requisition opens, so it includes sourcing time.
What usually slows time to hire down?
Interview scheduling and internal feedback loops are the most common bottlenecks, more often than a shortage of candidates.

Time to hire measures the number of days from when a candidate first enters your pipeline to when they accept an offer. It is distinct from time to fill, which starts when the requisition opens. This page walks through which stage timestamps your applicant tracking system should capture, how to handle candidates who drop out, and why a long time to hire often signals interview-scheduling bottlenecks rather than a weak pipeline. Use it to benchmark your funnel and to evaluate whether scheduling automation or a faster ATS would move the number. HRAIdir's methodology never lets sponsorship change how a tool is scored.
